Future proof banking!

5
Seemless switching between my personal and business accounts. Instant money transfers and receiving money too unlike others. Hands down the best out of the lot, and more so even than ‘high street’ banks who are way behind on the future of banking. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Amazing app

5
innovative visual modern clean app i hope to see soon the Euro account Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Good product but let down

2
Poor customer service experience, have had quite a few outages. Product good but is let down in many areas. From personal experience, very unfavourable CEO. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Mobile only and simplistic banking

5
Initially whenbi started using starling I had no hopes in their service since it was a mobile only productBut then when I got used to it starling is my daily driver now that I have added the functionality of depositing money via post office it just made it much more better! Starlings quick 24/7 support couldn't make their service much easier. Starling gives support in every single way and helps you save a ton of money at the same time with plugins such as change saver, etc. Starling is my favourite bank and the best mobile banking service available out their and outsmarts it's competitors.

Progressive and innovative

Constant new development and features to enhance UX and change my behaviour with money Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Great

5
Started off with Monzo who were an average bank. But moved to Starling who have been amazing. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

More than a bank

5
Starling is more than a bank which pays your bills etc. It’s a budgeting app which helps you change the way you think about money and planning how you spend your money and save your money. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Best retail account in the UK, no question

5
Wipes the floor with the incumbents. Much more fully featured than any other neo-bank. Free cash deposits and free unlimited global atm withdrawals (unlike Monzo), direct debits and deposit protection (unlike Revolut). Perfect account to finally ditch the legacy bank of your nightmare Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Best current account provider!

5
I use Starling since May 2017. Very pleased with their service! Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Best banking ever

5
Starling have revolutionised banking. Easy to use app, no charges to use abroad, interest paid each month, where you spend is listed by name & location, easy switch, great customer services, always available when you need them. Moved my current account to them last year and we have now moved our joint account, they make it so easy. Looking forward to the next steps they take to make it even better for us all. Thanks Reviewed on: 14th January 2019
